Factors of Rate of Reaction

The rate of a chemical reaction is NOT affected by which of the following:

• temperature
• concentration
• particle size (surface area)
• All of these affect reaction rates

Products will form faster if____________

• the particle size of the reactants are larger.
• temperature is decreased.
• concentration of the reactants are increased.
• the reaction is not stirred.

A ______________ is a substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being used up during the reaction. 

• catalyst
• product
• reactant
• solute

Catalysts permit reactions to proceed along a ___________energy path.

• lower

• higher

• magnetic

• psycho's

Smaller particle size allows for a _________ surface area to be exposed for the reaction.

• larger

• smaller

• rectangular

• spherical

Increasing the ____ causes the particles (atoms

or molecules) of the reactants to move more quickly so that

they collide with each other more frequently and with more

energy.

• Catalyst

• Surface Area

• Temperature

• Concentration

________ is the measure of how much area of an

object is exposed.

• Surface Area

• Catalyst

• Temperature

• Concentration

Grains of sugar have a greater _______ than a solid cube of

sugar of the same mass, and therefore will dissolve quicker in water.

• Surface Area

• Catalyst

• Temperature

• Concentratrion

Pick the TWO (2) options that will INCREASE the rate of a reaction.

• Reducing Heat

• Adding Catalyst

• Adding Heat

• Removing Catalyst

Which of the following will lower the rate

of reaction?

• adding an enzyme to the reaction

• decreasing the temperature from 40°C to

  10°C

• breaking a chunk of calcium up into

  smaller pieces

• increasing the amount of solute

  dissolved in a solution
